Story
In Alan Partridge: Nomad, Alan dons his boots, windcheater and scarf and embarks on an odyssey through a place he once knew - it's called Britain - intent on completing a journey of immense personal significance. Diarising his ramble in the form of a 'journey journal', Alan details the people and places he encounters, ruminates on matters large and small and, on a final leg fraught with danger, becomes not a man (because he was one to start off with) but a better, more inspiring example of a man.

All 10 episodes of the dark, surreal comedy featuring Matt Berry's twisted regression therapist.

In the olden days, people used to learn about things from encyclopedias. And that was really good, because you could read it, and learn it, then you could stop worrying about thinking. But now, with the Internet and more people and science and research, there's just too much knowledge - more every year - and it's overwhelming. So, after years of asking the big questions - like 'what did people do before evolution?' and 'what is clocks?' - intrepid reporter and visionary philosopher Philomena Cunk is bringing the encyclopedia back.

They won a Perrier Nomination in 2003 and this year sold out one of the biggest venues at Edinburgh for twenty six nights. By mixing their special parody of folksy music and unique brand of chit chat between the songs, the result is intoxicating and un-missable.

Story
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

Who but Carol Burnett herself has the timing, talent, and wit to pull back the curtain on the Emmy Award-winning show that made television history for 11 glorious seasons? In Such Good Company delves into little-known stories of the guests, sketches, and antics that made the show legendary as well as some favorite tales too good not to relive again. Carol lays it all out for us, from the show's original conception to its evolution into one of the most beloved primetime programs of its generation.
Summary
In Toast on Toast - part memoir, part "how to act" manual - Steven Toast draws on his vast and varied experiences, providing the reader with an invaluable insight into his journey from school plays to RADA and from "It's a Right Royal Knockout" to the Colony Club.
Along the way he reveals the secrets of his success. He discloses how to brush up on and expand your technical and vocal skills, how to nail a professional voiceover, and how to deal with difficult work experience staff in a recording studio. He also reveals the dangers of typecasting, describes the often ruthless struggle for 'top billing', and shares many awesome nuggets of advice.
The end result is a book that will inspire and educate anyone who wants to tread the floorboards. It will also inform (and entertain) anybody who simply wants to discover what a jobbing actor's life is actually like.

Helpless with laughter!
Matt Berry as the irrepressible actor Steven Toast brings his shockingly candid and "autobiography" to life. Berry's performance is brilliantly sustained and hysterically funny. Toast is a wondrous creation. This audiobook is s must for all fans of the CH4 TV series. For large parts of the book I was literally helpless with laughter. I had to switch it off while driving for fear of crashing. Whilst listening with headphones on the train I got funny looks from fellow passengers as tears of laughter rolled down my face. Yes, it really was that funny! I loved it!

Would you listen to Toast on Toast again? Why?
Absolutely. It's essential listening for the unemployed actor and or the full time employee stuck on a zero hours contract. It made my spirit sore and my sides soar....no hold on
Who was your favorite character and why?
All of them....Fancy Alexander sounds robust....and Rebecca Banana sounds hot also

Great Performace
Toast reminds me of a drunk Patrick Stewart. Toast can probably handle his liquer, Stewart however can get a little lairy after a whiskey. At our last meeting I found him jumping around a hotel lobby wearing in nothing but a vest and pair of loose fitting Y fronts. Living up to his romany heritage Stewart was looking for a bare knuckle fight with anybody who was willing to meet his challenge, "Make it f**king so" he kept saying. "Fight me, make it f**king so". However he soon tired and fell asleep in a feotal position on a small chaise. The staff recommended leaving him to sleep it off, they'd become accustomed to it. Toast is a strong man who we can all admire. He knows what he wants, and sometimes gets it. Great story, highly recommended, excellently delivered.

Toast on Toast is an absolutely sublime
It is a absolutely sublime telling of Steven Toast's tall tales from Matt Barry's beloved character. Everything from his sheer pomposity to his ridiculous and wild claims are at the very least amusing and more often than not hilarious. on numerous occasions Toast says things so wildly ludicrous that both took me aback and had me laughing heartily in public.
Consider in that Toast is a fictional character much of what he describes from his life seems to ring with some truth of what being an actor is like, especially one such as Toast.

Brilliant from start to finish
The British Ron Burgundy,,,only an actor...is the short hand description of this character created by Matt Berry. As a Brit living in the US it is the only way I can think to describe Steven Toast. A wonderful mock biography of the life of a actor who is both delusional and all too willing to do what it takes to make a living.
If you can see the tv series first please try to do so and hopefully enjoy it, then you will be even more entertained by this audiobook.
